Common at UAB to talk some sense

If you're a UAB student and you don't know that Common is coming to campus, we can only assume that you've been staring straight at the ground as you walk around, because the signs announcing his visit are everywhere.

Nevertheless, here's one more reminder that the "King of Conscious Hip-Hop" -- the Grammy award-winning rapper (also author and actor) -- Common will deliver a lecture Monday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. in Bartow Arena.
